LOL…if I actually thought you yokels could actually accept “PLAYING THE DOZEN” as this poster has done, I would reply back in kind. But I’m afraid some of you might not interpret the humor in such banter. I find it funny as hell myself! My Sister was a grade school teacher for 30 years; my Mom, a banker; my Wife a business owner……

Shalala has turned Miami into a top 50 academic university.
————————————————————-
In the spirit of fairness, Miami has become a first-rate academic institution. One for the “Wicked-Witch” of South Miami.

@gamechickenhen
We agree then, that Shalala is a major problem? Her knee-jerk reaction to the NCAA’s internal issue will ultimately cost Miami in the form of more sanctions IMO.

@mik303
It’s “Play-for-pay”….OK, I made a typo. My bad. I admit it…I made a mistake. So because your friends “admit to you” that players at their respective schools are paid with old-time, non-traceable funds, you believe them? There’s a bridge in Brooklyn that’s for sale….

On these threads, I was one of many who said Cam Newton should be ineligible…and it had nothing to do with how Auburn beat South Carolina twice in their “tainted” (IMO) National Championship season. Shortly after, the NCAA changed the rule that if a parent/guardian, etc. “shopped” their son/daughter, the athlete would be automatically ineligible. The horse was out of the barn but at least they fixed the rule.

Finally, if you haven’t gotten by now that my major gripe with Miami is their leadership, than I have either not properly communicated that or you have failed to recognize my point. Now, I must be off to work but I look forward to scribing with you gentlemen later this evening. The Gamecocker

Dude, funky stuff goes on everywhere. The whole reason the light is always so bright on Miami is because of the success that they had in the 80’s. Some of the antics, which many enjoyed, were not well received by the older, stuffy NCAA types. The backflips, the George Jefferson, Thrill Hill and his six guns.

They also whined when Miami beat ND down in Gerry Faust’s last game. They also whined when Miami put the beatdown on a lot of the older “storied” programs because they were not supposed to.

Miami comes back, the NCAA slaps them down. Miami starts to come back again, the NCAA tries to slap them down again.

Lets remember that the NCAA not only paid Shapiro’s lawyer to dig up the dirt they couldn’t find, they paid Shapiro with money and a cell phone for his testimony. I’m pretty sure any crook in the world would say whatever you want him to say for money.

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 06:45:49 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=235730#comment-127478Gamecocker misquoted me. I didn’t say that “Abortions, prostitution, millions in payoffs didn’t happen?” I said this “95% of what he bragged about to Yahoo wasn’t even in the Notice of Allegations. (Abortions, prostitution, millions of dollars in payoffs)” – See Post Above –

Which means that those things that were reported, were not in the official NOA, which means that they could not be corroborated. In the United States of America, we have the right to “due process.” So whether it’s a true story, a great story or a lie, it doesn’t matter, because it’s not a part of the NOA in this case. I wasn’t there, you weren’t there, it’s completely irrelevant.

Also, Gamecocker, since you’re attacking people for grammar and sentence structure on a blog site, perhaps you can explain what “Pay for Pay” is. I think you were trying to say “Pay for Play” which is another false accusation against Shalala. I don’t love the woman, but at least you can accuse her of the correct infraction. The U is not accused of creating a “pay for play” scheme organized by the administration. Is Shalala ultimately responsible for not realizing that Shapiro was breaking every rule in the book, yes. But the sum of the NOA that was officially sent to the U, DOES NOT equal the Death Penalty. Scholarship reductions and bowl bans are what the NCAA will deliver for Miami’s infractions. And unlike Ohio State, UNC, USC and some others recently, Miami didn’t wait for the NCAA penalties to come down. Miami started suspending players, and self-banned bowl games. Now we find out that the integrity of the entire investigation is tainted? No death penalty. Not even close. That negative recruiting tactic sounds great, but it’s not working any more. Miami is back.

“Abortions, prostitution, millions in payoffs didn’t happen? You are one naive person. They found what was on the surface. I think John Q. Public believes there was MUCH that was not confirmed but indeed did happen!!!”

First off, how often do you rub one off the the thought The U getting hammered because you seem to have a big hard on over this matter? Secondly, aren’t you being a little hypocritical being from the SEC? Everyone knows SEC stars live the life because of the so-called “old money” that can’t be traced. Even my friends from florida, Alabama, LSU, ect. admit their players get paid. So before you go talking about being naive, look in the mirror my friend. You can blame Cam Cam for shedding light on this issue. It was his paycheck that showed the world that in the SEC it’s ok to get paid. A 1 week investigation and he’s cleared and not a peep more by Emmert since, out-of sight-out-of-mind.

You’re 100 %. All you need to know folks is that Donna is the only one in King Cracker Clinton’s adminstration that he had to boot out the door for her scam crap. She and Reno were dogs but had different fleas. Reno killed 50 children at Waco. Donna just worked the backroom good old boys. Can you imagine if Jimmy Johnson and Donna had be at the U of Basketweaving at the same time. ? The FBI and ATF would have been working OT.Shapiro was a con man , same as Bernake.Hope you boys are in cash when the fake $$ dam breaks.Sucker MC

Finally I see your angle. As a UM fan, I could care less if Shalala goes. Her partner Janet Reno brings out more loathing in me, but she is pretty annoying too.

But dude quit repeating the yahoo sports tabloid piece as if it is Gospel. It is a joke.

As Benny k pointed out 170k is slightly less than 1 million Robinson reported hahaha….this is a joke, and Miami has self imposed more than enough for this one rouge booster, who only scammed the U in his free time, full time he was scamming smart people out of 900 million dollars….so he is in jail for 20 years.

Charles Robinson violated so many journalistic standards in his tabloid hit piece by going all in with Shapiro, who interviewed in jail with full knowledge of his vendetta.

I’m really laughing now because you spelled “feel” incorrectly in your first sentence. But I digress: thank-you for your concern about my “stress issues”. I will admit that I get carried away at times, but I mean no harm or offense to you or your Miami brethren. Honestly, I love words and keep a small dictionary by my side as I punch thoughts into the computer. But leadership at Miami needs to be closely examined and changed. I need to relax and watch some TV now. Have a nice evening.

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 01:58:07 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=235730#comment-127457I’m surprised the NCAA is claiming Shapiro gave money to 95 people (72 athletes, 12 family and friends, and 3 recruits). That’s a hell of a lot of folks. If they had evidence on even half of them then why did they go so far as to spend tens of thousands of dollars and call their entire investigation into question. If they could have proved even a third of their claim it would have been enough to hammer Miami and eliminate any need for that extraordinarily shady step with Shapiros lawyer.

It’s not adding up for the NCAA here.

Sometimes it’s best to see ones self through the eyes of others. Oh yeah thanks for the grammar correction, I haven’t had one of those since college in 1999. I wish you the best with your stress issues and YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE A XANAX.

LOL!! I loathe Donna Shalalala….you may have a different opinion of her than me, and I respect that. But I have never liked her when she was in the Clinton Administration and I sure as hell don’t care for her now. She would sooner throw someone under the bus than take the full responsibility. This happened under her watch and she deserves what she gets. If she doesn’t leave, then I will continue to call for the death penalty for U. of Miami. If she is relieved of her position, I am fine with that and the punishment already served by Miami. I never liked many of the scholar-athletes that Miami recruited with 90% emphasis on the athlete and very little on the “Student”. BTW, your grammar is not good at all. Your last sentence could have been phrased differently to make more sense…..what does “when you comment on me” mean? Do you mean when I reply to your post? But son, you do make me chuckle. Have a pleasant evening.

You sound so mad about something that has ZERO affect on you as an individual. I read your stuff all the time and you seem to have a lot of hate inside you. Take a Xanax and chill out man. Even if Miami got the death penalty IT HAS NO AFFECT ON YOU!! You would start crying about anotherso called problem like school, girlfriend, pet, mom, dad, bills,etc,etc. Get over yourself you are and always will be a silly little sad troll.
And remember when you comment on me make sure it’s factual as I did to you!!

Nah! Miami is dirty and it is lead by an unscrupulous politician. Miami is not walking. They have served some time but there is more time needed to be served. At a minimum, they deserve every bit as much as Penn State got.
